Proper fastener connection design takes in to account where and how fasteners are used. Allowance for special characteristics in materials, differences in materials, differences in types of materials being joined, unique or unusual environmental service or installation conditions and the safety factors required by anticipating normal or short term loading conditions must be considered. Due to possible differences in specifications, applications, and interpretation of results, purchasers and specifiers must make their own evaluation of the products, to determine the suitability of these products for intended use. All warranties of Buildex products, expressed or implied, including the warranties of merchantabilty and fitness for particular purposes are specifically excluded except for the following: Buildex will repair or replace any product which, within twelve months after sale by Buildex or its distributors, is found by Buildex to be defective in material or workmanship - normal wear and tear accepted. This is the sole warranty of Buildex and the sole remedy available to distributor or buyer. Buildex shall not be liable for any injury, loss or damage, direct, indirect, or consequential, arising out of the use of, or the inability to use, any Buildex product.
SPECIAL NUT DRIVER SYSTEM: The nut drivers were designed with a unique spin-off feature which provides a fast and safe installation each time. When the face of the driver comes into contact with the material you are installing into, continue drilling until nut driver spins free. Installation is then complete. Warranty requires the use of the appropriate nut driver for installations.

Engineering Note In 1996, the anchors listed by UL were tested in plate steel that measured .188 and .118. Subsequent testing was done for z-purlin applications in May 1997 using (.037) or 20 gauge steel. Most recently in 2008, testing with the new Sammy X-Press was completed using (.030) or 22 gauge steel metal deck. Sammys Nut Drivers Special nut drivers were designed to be used with Sammys. When the appropriate nut drivers are used for installation, the driver spins freely on the screw after installation is complete and eliminates the expected wrist snap, reduces over-torque, and prevents screw failure. Steel Screws Due to variations in hardness of certain metals, it should be noted that our self-drilling screws for steel will experience different drill speeds. 500-1500 RPM drill speed should be used. Metric Products Metric versions of the Sammy anchors are available at www.itwbuildex.com Sammys for Seismic Please visit www.itwbuildex.com for our current Seismic product offerring. Vibratory Environments For attaching or anchoring in high vibratory environments, special care should be taken not just for building attachments but also for the hangers or assemblies being supported. Consult local code authorities for accepted anchoring devices. Composite Joist/Truss Truss manufacturers vary installation recommendations for composite joist. UL testing was completed to validate that Sammys and Sidewinders SWG 20 and SWG 25-380 can be installed into the top cord of a truss. Sammy GST 20 can be installed into the center of the lower cord of a composite joist. Penetration of the upright center web is permitted by some joist manufacturers. Consult truss manufacturer for recommended installation point. Pre-drilling may be required by joist manufacturers. If so, pre-drill pilot hole 1/8 smaller than root diameter of fastener.

To increase efficiency of the installation process, sleeve tools, bit receivers, and wood bits are available for pre-drilling. NFPA/NEC Standards All UL and FM testing complies with NFPA 13 and NEC standards. Check with your local (AHJ) Authority Having Jurisdiction to confirm application and usage.
